“Braid se columpia en el punto de equilibrio entre la desesperación y el orgullo allí donde te da un pequeño orgasmo después de conseguir cada objetivo.”

Feel free to add my review of Braid to your round-ups from http://www.square-go.co.uk of which I am features editor.

Thanks again for giving the XBLA store the game it sorely needed.

Dave

Here are three Reviews from german magazines:

eurogamer.de – 100% (10/10)
http://www.eurogamer.de/article.php?article_id=211236

Braid ist von vorne bis hinten einfach traumhaft, ein perfekt geöltes Uhrwerk aus subtil ineinander greifenden, einzelnen Rätseln und eine tolle Geschichte obendrauf. Braid ist Verwirrung und Erleuchtung zugleich – und das beste Stück Spiel, an das ich dieses Jahr Hand legen durfte.

4players.de – 90% (9/10)
http://www.4players.de/4players.php/dispbericht/360/Test/11973/59833/0/Braid.html

Nicht perfekt, aber ein bezauberndes Kleinod mit Charme und Seele, das man ungeniert in einer Reihe mit Titeln wie Portal , Okami oder Rez nennen kann. Bitte mehr davon!

xboxfront.de – 91 % (9.1/10)
http://www.xboxfront.de/test-1672-531-Braid.html

Braid regt zum Knobeln an und punktet mit seinen erfrischenden Rätsel-Konzepten, die vorwiegend durch das Zeitmanipulations-Feature einen ganz persönlichen Stempel aufgedrückt bekommen. Auch wenn der Preis von 1200 M$-Points angesichts der geringen Spieldauer ein klein wenig zu überzogen ist, harmonieren die Rätsel-Einlagen mit dem Zeitmanipulations-Feature hervorragend. Lösungen sind nicht immer auf den ersten Blick erkennbar, weswegen das Spiel extrem motiviert und für Rätsel-Freunde den Himmel auf Erden darstellt. Gut gefallen haben uns außerdem die Klangkulisse und die eigenwillige Bleistift-Optik.

Maybe you want to post them on your blog.
Greetings, Florian.

I probably shouldn’t write when I’m tired, but I wanted to get it up. Another positive review 🙂

Apparently every time I start up Braid without being connected to Xbox Live, it tells me I’m in trial mode. The Dashboard recognizes I have the full version, but Braid doesn’t. Once I re-download the game, the problem goes away… until I restart the Xbox.

I initially thought it was my Xbox that had this problem – but I’ve only managed to start up Braid ONCE without it reverting to “trial mode.” As you would imagine, this makes it difficult to get any of the secret secrets!
